COAL POWER OFF THE GRID

Ravens chief has had ‘enough'

- Andy Mitchell

CHAIRMAN Glyn Rennocks declared “enough was enough” having stunned the Non-League fraternity by culling senior men’s football at Coalville Town.

Rennocks announced on Friday that he had “taken the difficult decision to step away” and disbanded the Southern League Premier Division Central side amid costs that had “spiralled”.

The bombshell landed just five days after Coalville had announced the retention of one player, “positive discussions” with others and that “multiple new signings” had been secured.

News of the team’s demise included confirmation that Ravens manager Ian King had been informed of the decision earlier the same day.

In an interview with The NLP, Rennocks confirmed Coalville’s teams at under-21 and youth level, plus all female teams, would continue from the club’s Owen Street base.
